Not to retein text in the combobox widget

Hello,
Just want to know any possiblity not to retein the text in the combobox widget? I am using Captivate 5.5. The current behavior is I select a value in the list of combobox on page A, and then I click a button to go to the next page B. When I am back to the page A, the value I just selected is there displayed in the combobox (as the selected value). I do not want to retein the text.
Thanks

I want to make the item text of the combobox to be aligned vertically(Centred) . Actually I increased the height
of the combobox and after the increasing the combobox height, the text is not centred vertically.The code
snippet for increasing the height is as follows,
m_SpecifyCombo.SetItemHeight(-1,20);//CCombobox m_SpecifyCombo
After increasing the height the text in the combobox is not in the centre as shown in the below image,
But I want the text to be centred as shown in the below image.

Hi sivavuyyuru,
I cannot find a easy way to make this.
I think you may need to draw your own Combo Box control. And you could change the edit control more like static text. Check the article:
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/controls/combobox/fontselectioncombos/article.php/c1795/Owner-Drawn-Font-Selection-Combobox.htm
In the resource editor, Owner draw -> variable , Has string->true, type->drop list.
The result:

EBS - Auto posting not working if text behind the document number

Hi,
When the document number is at the end of the payment reference, there is no problem.
    However, when there is text behind the document number, the posting rule doesn't work anymore.
    The autoposting also fails when there is a seperator (like a comma) directly added to the document number.
-   In the posting rule for invoice numbers (BE51), it is able to find multiple invoice numbers and clear these together.
    We were expecting this posting rule will behave the same, so when a customer mentions more than 1 document number,
    it is able to find them all and clear if they fulfill the criteria (total amount of the documents matches the amount received).
    But because of 1st mentioned problem, system doesn't clear anything because of additional text present.
I am look help to solve this issue
Thanks.

Why can't you copy and paste text from the Dictionary widget?

I use this dictionary often, but I wish that I was able to copy and paste the text from it.

Just use the Dictionary application in the Applications folder. You will have no problem copying and pasting text from the full application. I just tried it and it works fine.

My Bluetooth connects, but does not recoginize my voice and does not read out text over the bluetooth

I connect my Bluetooth (Moto Hint Bluetooth Ear bud) or my Samsung Bluetooth. It says connected but when I receive a call and say answer it does not answer the call, nor does it read out who is calling. I have allowed both devices to access my phone book/contacts. These devices worked fine on my Samsung Galaxy S4, but don't seem to work on the Motorola Turbo. Did I forget or miss something when setting up my phone? I even erased the Cache Partition thinking maybe somehow that is the problem, but nothing. Thanks!

Ensuring your Bluetooth is working is very important jwralston. Especially if you are driving. Has this ever worked for you? If so, when did you start experiencing difficulites? What make and model Bluetooth are you using?
Thank You,

What is wrong with the ComboBox?

What a nice Saturday it is...
Why oh why won't a ComboBox show its selection when it's
loaded in a parent movie? Do we have the same issue here as with
the AS2 version? I tried putting a ComboBox in the parent but that
doesn't work either.
Functions as expected when I test the movie with the
ComboBox, when I load that movie in a parent... no text on the
ComboBox. The dropdown works ok, but once you have made a selection
and the ComboBox closes again... no text. Anyone experienced
this?

it wouldn't matter whether the cb was added to the stage or
using a.s. it would matter if you picked a unique instance name or
not.
with a non-unique name, the cb appears to be working but
displays no text when closed. if you click the cb and open it,
you'll see the text so you can make different selections. but if
you click a selection, no text appears in the closed cb.

Regarding heaer text in the smartforms

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
menu..but not the submenus?
Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
submenu...what can i do to solve this?

Does the example described at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
work for you?
What are you doing that's different from the example?
When you say you just want to change the text of the main
menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
actually tried it.
Hope that helps!

Aligning text the Menu Widget

Menu Widget: Is it possible to align the text centered in the Menu Top-pages and left in the Menu Sub-pages?

There's not a lot of control (any) for where the submenu itself is positioned, but you can align the text within the submenus using text alignment in the Text panel in the menu is set for Uniform Site. If the menu is set for Uniform Spacing you need to get more creative and double click until a submenu item is selected, then use the Spacing panel (unlock the chain icon) to increase the right padding value so the text appears left aligned.

Rotating the text label of the tabs in the tab widget

Hello, I am fully aware that the tab widget can be rotated... However I have not been able to rotate the text label of the tab itself. This has been really frustrating and I'm not sure if its even possible to do.
It would certainly be a great feature! If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi
Try to use vertical text in label and then rotate it, it would show up aligned with tab orientation.
Thanks,
Sanjit
